Castle? What castle? Think cardboard fort, standing above muddy grounds.
As far as I can recall, some documents were handed out to third parties just
before the arrival/release of Vista (too late, no?). Who knows if it was
truly documentation.

Who's going to get Microsoft convicted for these repeated acts of isolation
and aggressive pushing away of rivals? Netscape, VMWare, McAfee, Symantec,
Sun, Novell...
The US Government won't life a finger. The tax money comes from overseas, so
why should it mind? Let the Brits pay. Twice. Plus Wanker (OneCare), because
Vista is incomplete (edition) and insecure (requiring addons) by design.
